What are the Symptoms of Pharyngeal Dysphagia in Cancer Patients?
Patients with pharyngeal dysphagia often report symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, a sensation of food stuck in the throat, coughing or choking while eating, and unintended weight loss. They may also experience recurrent pneumonia or chest infections due to aspiration, where food or liquids enter the airway instead of the esophagus.
